If you haven't been following the thread at http://fireflyfans.net/mthread.asp?b=2&t=34491 ("What more can we do?") I'd like to introduce you to the newest project dedicated to the goal of bringing back FireFly, or producing a sequel to Serenity: http://www.savefirefly.org

Currently (our first phase of the project), we are planning to pick a day to mail blue surgical gloves (two by two, hands of blue) to FOX, along with a card that says "you can't stop the signal".

If you want to help, check out the site (it's still under construction so there will be changes made daily over the next week or so) and spread the word.

Let's show the world what brown coats are really made of!

Hands of blue, two by two? With a card that reads "You Can't Stop the Signal?"

I like!

Don't get me wrong, I love Firefly and I think this is a great idea, but what exactly are we ASKING for?

If I'm a studio exec and I get a pair of blue gloves with a note that says "Can't stop the signal", I think "Huh, creepy," shrug, and give it to my assistant to throw out.

So what's the GOAL? The objective? What are we all asking for? And, unfortuately, I think "bring back Firefly somehow" may be too generic.

This may already have been discussed on the savefirefly forums, but once there's an objective, it should be clearly stated here, too.

The site doesn't feel very user-friendly to me.

The header seems too big... keeps me from being able to read a big bit all at once... have to keep scrolling.

I find a background image w/text on it to be distracting when I'm trying to read.

I didn't see anything that indicated I should click on "2x2..." to see the current/upcoming plan.

I'd like to have a way to sign up to a list that would email upcoming/current plans. Dunno if it's possible, but I think you'd get a lot of people who'd do that, but who might not think to stop in to the website often to see what's going on.

I know it says, "Newsletter option added. Enter your email address on the left if you'd like to receive updates on our plans," but I don't actually *see* that anywhere.

Just my thoughts. It's always a good idea to have organization to keep trying to get more of the show, so kudos!!

You know what the secret to flying is? Love.

Well you can get more info at the site SaveFirefly.org but......

The Blue Gloves will go along with a letter telling the Fox execs exactly we want and why - more episodes of Firefly. We will tell them that thousands of new fans are clamoring for our BDH.

You make a good point about clearly stating our purpose here at this site as well. I will make an attempt to state our case shortly.
